I don't like that it's a Saban retread with lessening success over the years.
If he was told what the deal was before he took the job, why would he pissed? I'm sure Saban would've told him this if it turns out be the case.Very odd that stuff is leaking out…Saban needs to be more concerned about his moles…Steele should be pissed if true…
Been in it for 35+ years and you get a multi million dollar contract to do it 1 year or so before you head to pasture? You best believe most folks would be all over that.Very odd that stuff is leaking out…Saban needs to be more concerned about his moles…Steele should be pissed if true…
He has an pride and ego… I don’t think he would want it to get out that he was a place holder… It’s not a good look at all for all parties involved…IMO it looks like all parties were desperate for a quick fix..And it will be played as that in the media..If he was told what the deal was before he took the job, why would he pissed?

Same here.I feel better about the oc than the DC.
Been in it for damn near 40 years. I have it from a cousin of his that I used to coach HS with, that Steele actually called Saban. Sounds like Steele knew that this was going to be a short term thing. Also, his family is all here in state. Tuscaloosa gets him closer to them all instead of down in Miami with that shitstorm. @TerryP said it before about Steele and recruiting, he didn’t care for it much and Memphis was about as far as he was willing to go. Steele may have mentioned “small recruiting area” in exchange for Saban’s “short term” hire. These guys have known one another for years and travel in the same circles. Coaches are a tight knit group. Kind of a scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours!!Very odd that stuff is leaking out…Saban needs to be more concerned about his moles…Steele should be pissed if true…

Yeah this isn't a big deal. Pruitt and Steele teaches same concepts and I'm willing to bet they will work together once he's cleared.Been in it for damn near 40 years.

So he's a Deer hunter?He has an pride and ego… I don’t think he would want it to get out that he was a place holder… It’s not a good look at all for all parties involved…IMO it looks like all parties were desperate for a quick fix..And it will be played as that in the media..

Steele isn’t better than Golding
What are Steele’s issues?Steele knows the situation. Would also add, a lot of similarities with Pruitt and Steele in how they coach, teach, hold people accountable, etc. They share some old school DNA... one reason Saban likes them so much.
Both have their positives and negatives, all of them do. But Steele is a better, more complete, and more experienced football coach than Golding right now. Golding is young and may have a higher ceiling as he gets more experience himself... but in terms of coaching on the field, game planning, adjustments, Steele has the edge on all 3. That isn't a jab at Golding, I've stated before I don't believe he's nearly as bad as most of our fans think he is... but that's the way I see it on Steele (who certainly has his own issues in other areas).
